stroke, brain, walking and balance in short.

Relearning to walk does take time, but with proper guidance time is shortened.

Sit with legs outstretched; lift and move each buttock in turn. The key here is to move without leaning, using your buttocks.
Good luck.

I shifted slightly, a disappointing crawl compared to the distance I longed to cover; the air hung heavy with my frustration. With the air thick and humid, I cut my workout short, but my other training sessions will continue as planned.

01/07/2025

I pushed my body to its limits today; muscles screaming, lungs burning. There's a hunch in me that tomorrow might bring fear that stops me from moving.

My leg strengthening continues, but I've encountered a
frustrating muscle weakness that's hindering my ability to
maintain my usual routine. I was doing a wall stand; my legs
burned with the same intensity, shaking in perfect time. I will
wait and see if this solution finally unravels the mystery of my
leg bouncing.

This picture's from tonight's crawl.

I believe I've solved my leg-bouncing problem. My wall sit uncovered a muscle imbalance in my legs. This exercise caused both my legs to behave virtually identically. A further update will be provided soon if there are improvements. I took advantage of the nice weather for my second picture, crawling outdoors, only to find a mosquito bite later in the day.

My walking time with the walker has increased, and I can feel the improvement in my strength and endurance. The process takes around two hours; I'm hesitant to push too hard on my first go, but I'm contemplating tacking on an additional 30 minutes. Due to the rain forecast for the next few days, I'll postpone it.

It was done, barely 500 meters away, but the smell of success filled the air. I had an urge to go there. Likely I did not. I barely made it back. The sight I just witnessed has given me the drive to accomplish this quickly.

20/04/2025

I'm very happy; my improved walking stamina is paying off with increased energy and a sense of accomplishment. I think I'm ready for the 1km walk to the fan; the thought of its cool breeze is almost enough to motivate me. I'm not certain if I can handle another 1 km to make it back. I will try as soon as the warmth of the sun melts the last of the winter's chill.

03/04/2025

I believe I have solved a problem I'd been contemplating, which makes me very happy. The image shows a stretch I'm doing to address the issue, one of the steps in solving the problem, anyway.

14/03/2025

I'm really pleased I could walk for 45 minutes. You want to know how my legs will feel tomorrow? I'm dreading the soreness—I can already feel the burn! The glimpse of the 2 geese was enough to make the experience unforgettable.

12/03/2025

Overcome with excitement, I walked for 11 minutes straight on the treadmill, the rhythmic thud of my feet a steady beat against the machine. I felt invincible, on top of the world, but as the sun began to set, a wave of tiredness washed over me. It felt like a red-hot poker was twisting in my lower back and side; the pain was unbelievable, a solid 8/10 on the scale. I had a few days off and concluding it was the treadmill. The amortization or the heavy thumping exacted its toll.

Today's 20-minute stroll with my blue walker was a calming experience, feeling the sun's warmth on my face as I moved along. I could feel my legs working, and even though it wasn't easy, a sense of pure joy filled me. The leg strength will come back, maybe not immediately, but it will return with diligent effort.

26/02/2025

I managed a 5-minute stint on the treadmill; a small victory, but nonetheless, my muscles were already feeling the burn. Because I'm confident in my abilities, that time will increase rapidly; I know I can push myself further.
Since I hammer my legs in the morning, my second workout is usually lighter, a gentle flow to avoid overstraining. An hour on my feet was a challenge, but I impressed myself with my endurance; my legs were definitely feeling it. I might have explored further.
